Scott,

The Ditch run is one of the more "FUN" races of the year. It is a 67-mile downwind race up the Delta. It starts just outside Richmond yacht club and finishes off Stockton yacht club. Lots of gybing duals all the way up the river. Have to make sure you don't forget the sun tan lotion or cold beer. Those are necessities for this race!
